Srinagar, Jan 12: In an intensified crackdown on narcotic smuggling, Jammu and Kashmir Police have frozen more than 100 bank accounts allegedly tied to drug trafficking activities in Srinagar. The accounts, collectively holding several lakhs of rupees, belong to individuals arrested in connection with cases filed under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
According to police officials, all transactions associated with these accounts are under detailed scrutiny to trace the flow of illicit funds, effectively blocking the financial resources of drug trafficking networks. The arrests are part of ongoing investigations into the trafficking of narcotics and psychotropic substances, which pose a significant threat to the community, particularly the youth.
The police have also attached moveable and immovable properties valued at crores of rupees, which are believed to have been acquired through these illicit activities, under the legal provisions of the NDPS Act. This action was initiated under Section 68F(2) of the NDPS Act.
Police have urged the public to cooperate in the fight against drug abuse and trafficking, encouraging anyone with information to contact their nearest police station or dial 112 to report suspicious drug-related activities.
